Caring for Your Pre-Owned Luxury Watch

A fine timepiece is a work of art—and it deserves the right care. Whether you own a pre-owned Rolex Submariner, a classic Datejust, a Cartier Tank, or a Tudor Black Bay, proper maintenance is essential to preserving performance, value, and elegance.

Winding:

• Manual watches should be wound daily at the same time to ensure accuracy.

• Automatic watches benefit from regular wear or a quality watch winder to keep them running smoothly.

Storage:

• Keep your luxury watch in a cushioned, moisture-free case away from magnetic fields.

• Avoid storing in direct sunlight or extreme temperature changes, as this can damage lubricants and degrade gaskets.

Servicing:

• Luxury watches like Rolex and Cartier should be professionally serviced every 3–5 years to maintain mechanical integrity and water resistance.

• Servicing includes gasket replacement, pressure testing, lubrication, and polishing—key to keeping models like the Rolex Submariner and Datejust in peak condition.
